Chapter 216: Chapter 142: Honest People Suffer Disadvantages_2

"Mom, if you keep this up, I’m really going to get mad," Lin Yujiao said, clearly upset. "I’ve already made it clear earlier, Xu Jun and I will never get back together in this lifetime, so you can forget about it. And forget about that 200,000 dowry too."

"How can you talk like that?" Mrs. Lin said, both annoyed and angry. "Am I not doing this for your own good? This boyfriend of yours is totally unreliable. He even promised to take us to some five-star hotel for dinner and now, just like that, he’s gone. And he’s got something ambiguous going on with that girl. Are you really so easygoing to believe that girl is just his ’sister’?"

Mr. Lin also said, "Yu Jiao, it’s not that your parents are greedy for wealth, it’s that your boyfriend doesn’t seem very reliable. Just now, when I asked him when he would get married, he was dumbfounded. He couldn’t give an answer. Clearly, he has no plans to marry you in his heart.

Of course, I’m not advising you to break up with him, but I just want to make sure you’re not being fooled by him. How about this? Give it two more months. After two months, you should get engaged and then married. If that doesn’t work out, then you should just get back together with Ah Jun."

Mr. Lin’s words were actually quite sensible and indeed considered Lin Yujiao’s perspective.

Knowing her own affairs best, Lin Yujiao could only bitterly smile inside and agreed perfunctorily, "Mm, I’ll see how things go with him first. If it’s not suitable, I surely won’t hang myself on this one tree."

Mr. Lin nodded and said, "As long as you have a clear understanding in your heart, that’s fine."

Mrs. Lin said unhappily, "I think she’s clueless."

Lin Yujiao rolled her eyes at her.

...

After getting into his car with Wu Mengting, she couldn’t help but complain, "Bro, you’re not seriously considering a relationship with Yu Jiao, are you?"

"How could that be?" Chen Feng immediately denied, "You know the whole story. I didn’t have a choice; I was pushed into a corner. Yu Jiao is technically my woman now; I can’t just watch her being harassed by her ex-husband, so I stepped in to help her out, to make the other guy give up. But that doesn’t mean I really want to talk about marriage with her."

"Her parents took it seriously, though, and you’ve already introduced yourself. Who knows, they might come directly to your family. What will you do then?"

Chen Feng was a bit troubled by this but tried to take it easy, saying straightforwardly, "If push comes to shove, I’ll just have to break up with Yu Jiao."

Wu Mengting was startled and said in surprise, "You’re willing to do that?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "It’s just a breakup on the surface; I can still secretly see her."

Hearing this made Wu Mengting mutter "jerk" to herself.

The next day, Chen Feng took Wu Mengting to Feiyun City for fun, as they had agreed the previous night. Chen Feng had invited Lin Yujiao as well, but she said she had family issues and did not join them.

Chen Feng and Wu Mengting spent the day enjoying the attractions in Feiyun City, taking plenty of photos, and had a lunch of local cuisine, which tasted quite good.

They didn’t start their journey back until around five o’clock in the afternoon.

Since it was just Wu Mengting and Chen Feng today, she had a lot of fun and hummed along with the car’s music all the way.

Seeing her happy, Chen Feng’s mood also improved.

Honestly, having a beautiful girl like her to accompany him for a trip, to share food and drink, was indeed very enjoyable.

But their prolonged solo time together was ultimately inappropriate; Chen Feng was genuinely worried that one day he might not be able to control himself and take advantage of her. If that happened, he would feel guilty when he died.

So, after reaching the town, Chen Feng still couldn’t help but ask her when she planned to go home; it was already the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there weren’t many days left until the New Year.

Wu Mengting said she wanted to have fun for a few more days and planned to return around the twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month.

Her demeanor was very natural, having decided to stick with Chen Feng, which left him speechless.

She originally appeared to be a quiet girl, but now she was shamelessly squatting at his house and refusing to leave.

This was likely because of their previous national tour, where they spent every day together and had gotten to know each other very well.

Furthermore, Chen Feng had told her he would treat her like a sister. And now she genuinely acted like he was family, staying at his house and eating there. Everyone in the Chen family was very fond of her, especially the head of the family, Zhao Xiaolan, who treated her like her daughter (or even daughter-in-law), making her even more fearless.

Since Wu Mengting said she would stay for a few more days, Chen Feng couldn’t just kick her out. He would probably have to include Lin Yujiao in their outings from now on.

When they got home, Wu Mengting was quick to show her dedication to Zhao Xiaolan, giving her some souvenirs she bought from the scenic spot. Then everyone in the Chen family got something, especially for the two little ones; Wu Mengting bought each of them a stuffed toy. The girls were overjoyed, immediately clinging to her, calling her "sister" and playing together.

Zhao Xiaolan found an opportunity to pull Chen Feng to a secluded spot at the doorway and asked with a stern face, "What’s going on with you and that girl who owns the clothing store, Yu Jiao?"

Chen Feng was taken aback and then, realizing what was happening, replied awkwardly, "I’m not officially dating her; we’re just friends."

"Friends?" Zhao Xiaolan looked skeptical. "This morning, her aunt came to our house and said you two are boyfriend and girlfriend now, and she asked when I would be free to meet her parents."
